Chapter 26-1
Sofia’s POV
My cheeks remained flushed after the kiss as we drove back through the familiar gates towards Vincent’s house.
“Ok listen to me… do you want to talk to Daryl when we go in?” Vingent questions, parking up the car as I instantly shake my head in defiance.
Of course I don’t! Why would I want to speak to him right now? Not in this frame of mind anyway! I had already embarrassed myself enough…
“Well then just pretend to be asleep and I’ll carry you in, I’ll take you to the spare room and Emma can come too.” Vincent offers, as I inhale a slow breath and nod in agreement with the plan.
“Vincent?” I find his name rolling off of my tongue as he eyes me, waiting for me to continue.
“What?” He presses, clicking off his belt and cutting the engine.
“Thank you… for saving me tonight.” I swallow the lump in my throat, as he nods and offers me a half smile at my words.
“I told you, I don’t let bad shit happen to my staff which by the way you better not be too hungover for your shift tomorrow, I’m paying you well for two days so I expect perfection!” He winks, as I chuckle and nod at the statement.
He really didn’t seem that bad when he was like this…
I watch him climb out of the car on his side, before walking around to my side – opening the door.
“Sleep darling.” He smirks, as I nod and close over my eyes with a giggle – feeling his arms hook under my legs and around my back
to carry me.
He seems to lift me up with ease as I hope that he doesn’t find me to be heavy. I nestle my head into the crook of his neck, more so to hide my face from the others staring, but I was also guiltily enjoying the scent of Vincent’s aftershave coming from his tattooed
neck.
He smelled expensive and spicy… a true masculine scent if I had ever smelled one before.
“Oh my god is she ok?!” I hear Emma’s panic first, as my heart cracks a little after having left her behind during my meltdown.
“She’s fine, she just started dozing off in the car. I said you two could spend the night here so I’ll show you to the spare room – follow me.” I hear Vincent talking with her, as I grow curious as to whether or not Daryl was there too.
Maybe he was off in his room having fun with the red head without a car in the world… why would he care? He owes me nothing…
“Was she… upset?” My thoughts are suddenly answered when I hear his voice next causing me to tense, as Vincent’s grip on me tightens ever so slightly.
“Obviously she was. You fucking ditched her tonight Daryl! Just let her sleep it off, the alcohol clearly isn’t helping either! You can talk to her tomorrow. Vincent is heard scolding him in an unforgiving tone, before we begin to walk up the steps towards whatever room Vincent was taking us to as Daryl seemed to remain quiet.
I allow myself to be carried, actually growing somewhat tired in his arms with the gentle rocking of each stride as we walked…
A door is heard opening, before a light is switched on.

Chapter 26-1
“He’s gone you can open your eyes now.” Vincent whispers in my ears 1 peak up at him and smile.
He stares down at me in his armis seeming amused; before eventually releasing me down on to my feet where I turn to find Emma stood by the door with wide eyes.
“Sofia! I’m so glad he found you! I felt so bad not knowing where you went!” Emma rushes to hug me instantly as 1 hug her back.
“I’m so sorry for running off like that! I shouldn’t have left you alone I just wasn’t thinking straight, I needed space and to get some air. I don’t know what happened, I’m blaming the alcohol!” I rant, apologising for my dramatic behaviour as she somewhat smiles and laughs.
